Six ordinary lives unravel when the mundane world collides with the magical.
From a girl investigating her mysterious new neighbor to a boy's peculiar disappearance in his own back yard, the creatures they encounter are not interested in making friends.
These fairy tales aren't about pixies that fly in and leave you little gifts, but about the folk that hide in the shadows to play tricks on you for their amusement. In this world, beautiful, charming mermaids don't exist but there is certainly something lurking below the waves. And yes, that odd old woman is definitely hiding a secret, but if you go snooping it may be the last thing you ever discover.
The Cautionary Tales of Curious Souls is for anyone who has ever asked what is that? and learned the answer the hard way. Heed the warnings for yourself in these six short stories:
- As the Sun Rises
- With a Final Breath
- When the Fog Lifted
- The House that Kept Itself
- Across the Lake
- A Tide Turned
Don't expect happy endings.
